How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Some gurgling or hissing is normal in refrigeration systems, especially during start and stop.

  • 1. Observe performance:
    • If the cooler maintains proper temperature, the noise is likely normal.
  • 2. Check for cooling issues:
    • If cooling is poor and noise is excessive, there may be a sealed-system issue.
  • 3. Do not attempt sealed-system repairs yourself:
    • Contact a licensed refrigeration technician to check refrigerant charge and system integrity.
